Wizard is pleased to introduce to you our new drummer Dave Mackey.
Dave has been drumming in the Butler County area for over 35 years. He has played with area musicians Adrian Martin, Lisa Biales, and Bill Littleford, to name a few.
Dave loves playing all musical styles, from rock to funk to country to jazz, and everything in between.
Dave grew up in Oxford and currently lives in West Chester.
Dave says he is thrilled to join Wizard, and looks forward to meeting the band's great fans. Come see us soon and introduce yourself to Dave!
My friend, the late great Jimmy Mc Nealy (former drummer for Wizard and the Sonny Moorman Group) passed on around this time of year, and I was thinking about him today. Jimmy's normal drink set-up was a shot of Beam and a Bud. So join with me in saying "Jimmy, this Bud's for you!" *** for those who aren't familiar with Jimmy's work, go track down a copy of Sonny Moorman's "Telegraph Road" CD. Jimmy does some awesome drum work on that recording, and his Irish tenor pipes are given a good workout, too. Check out, "Metal Cowboy Blues" for some phenomenal drum work, and Sonny and Jimmy's duo "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby" where Jimmy croons with that Irish tenor like a bird.
Sometimes I still can't believe he's gone...a good friend, and one hell-uv-a nice guy, too! I'm sure he's up there playing that "Great gig in the sky...".

Thank you for the add I have been a big fan of wizard since the 80's . I wish you had wizard t-shirts i would be a buyer forsure we are going to try to see you guys at club kricket
Coming from you guys, that is a huge complement! Thank you, I am humbled! I try to deliver the complete package with the art and the music. We are just having fun and I work hard at keeping it just that. I just want to play! Lol! We do covers but they seem to get Driftasized . We rehearse once a week and some time more right before a show to tighten it up as much as possible. Thank you again for taking the time to check out our efforts and I will share this with Drift. All will be tickled with your words and would consider it an honor to have you attend one of our shows. Lots of Love from The drift Band!
My heart is running over with love for all of you.......
